I am sorry I’m not blogging much but I have been feeling really rotten and haven’t done anything to blog about. The most I’ve accomplished is wrapping and re-wrapping my ribbon onto my ribbon cards while I sit on the couch. I keep changing my mind about how I want to organize my ribbon (color, […]

My Craiglist deals and trip to Ikea!
I haven’t blogged in over a week! I have so much I WANT to blog about but haven’t been able to. The CFS is kicking my butt lately and I haven’t felt well enough to do much of anything. Yesterday, I was feeling a little better and forced myself to go to Seattle so I […]
Cool Thrift Store Find For My Scrap Room!
I’m so psyched! Look what I found for $6.95 at a local thrift store this weekend! (I’ll paint it later) Here a couple of closer looks: Do you know how much stuff this little thing can hold? I started to put things on it in an effort to sort through my boxes of craft supplies […]
So Bummed!
Man, I’m so frustrated! I’ve been shopping for weeks at the thrift stores and Builders Bargain for shelving standards and brackets to try to build pantry shelves and some shelves in my scrap room / son’s homeschooling room. Well I finally collected enough and I had to wash them, prime them,, paint them (3 coats!) […]
Altering My Plain White Making Memories Embellishment Center
This is the Making Memories Embellishment Center which almost every scrapbooker *seems* to have in their scrap room. I’ve been debating buying one for months because it’s white and I’m not a fan of white. After unsuccessfully trying to find something as organized as this, but “different” looking, I broke down and bought one. I […]
Hanging Ikea Expedit Bookshelf On The Wall
As I’ve been planning my scrapbooking/homeschooling room for the past few months, I decided to buy an IKEA Expedit bookshelf to organize my scrapbooking supplies and my son’s homeschooling supplies. Ikea is in Renton which is a long drive for me so I spent the entire day there! I wanted a big Expedit but I […]
How to make your own Clip It Up
I found instructions online a long time ago for making a version of the “clip it up” like the one by “Simply Renee”. I’m making my second one now and I love it! It was very inexpensive to make compared to the “real” one and several people have asked me to post pictures and instructions. […]
Catchin’ Up – Following Up
I’ve gotten a lot done but haven’t had time to post or take pictures yet. Because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, sometimes I am not up to doing much and the last week or so has been rough. However, before this I was able to get two of my Ikea Expedit 2×4 shelves hung on […]
Shopping for my scrap room!
Today was a fun day! I went to Goodwill, Lowes, Home Depot and Target and then to a movie with my 11 year old to see “New in Town” (disappointing movie). I can’t wait to get my camera fixed so I can upload pictures of my new treasures from Goodwill! I finally broke down and […]
